Description Raimond Spekking 2006-08-18 08:14:10 UTC 
The paramter $1 in [[MediaWiki:confirmemail body]] and
[[MediaWiki:Passwordremindertext]] is HTTP-linked to the IP itself. But in most
cases (I assume > 95%) a click to this URL will fail into an error message
because it is a dynamic IP without webserver behind.

Proposal: Link $1 to a DNS information system like
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=80.135.149.85 (or any other system the
devs like).

Benefit: A click will not fail and the user can prove easier the origin of the
request.

There's no such HTTP link for me, and it shouldn't be an HTTP link.
Comment 2 Dan Li 2006-08-18 17:41:42 UTC 
The email is sent in plain text, but some email clients (including gmail)
automatically turn the IP address into a link. I don't see a reason to reopen
though.

You need to ensure that your web server is properly configured with its own server information. If not, set 
$wgServer manually.
